Probably the best choice for vintage Carbon. Designed by someone who actually knew how the stuff worked and designed it to last not to be a one season throw away. Still pretty light though. I had a 58cm one that weighed around 1400g for the frame.

What happened to the original fork Dan? It should be a 1" threaded number.

Funny hey - not the original fork, true, however the 94 catalogue and mech spec has the 5500 with a 1" threadless fork and zero degree rise stem - a detail which then disappears from the range for the next 5 or so years.

It's a 58 also, well, 57cm top tube - the 58 is seat tube ctt. Looks smaller in that image than it is, but it's definitely has a shorter standover then my cannondale. That's the reasoning behind a new fork - 16cm drop is a bit much for me o_O
